The Etiquette of Learning

Be patient over the teacher's strictness and sternnes,
For there are scores of knowledge in his authority.
Whoever does not taste the humility of learning even for an hour,
Will drink from the humility of ignornace for the rest of his life.
For him who misses out on learning in his youth,
Then announce four Takbiraat over him for his death is due.
By Allah, the life of a youth is by knowledge and piety.
If these are not present then nothing can express his existence.
